Had the same reaction from 3 individuals today. All of them are pretty average users.
I personally enjoy iOS 7. But interesting to see reactions from average users.
Selling a stock is not the same thing as saying it will go down. Gold was up 4% today and the S&P 1.2%.

Ahh see this is where our communication is lacking....The question was for a friend who updated their iphone to 7 OTA like most people do. Then when it installed somehow reverted her to her old itunes account. But thanks for being helpful, but does that help still apply?
It's you who are the bigoted one. I never said anything about your sexuality. All I said was that the color scheme is feminine... I didn't call you feminine. You inferred that. I don't think men who wear pastel colors are feminine just because of their color choice. You are the one who seems to think that. I said that the color scheme is a feminine one. That doesn't mean I think someone who likes it is feminine. You need to get that through your thick skull. I'm not judging anyone's choices. You are. Also, I use to work as a costumer in the film business for years. I know a little bit about clothing design and it isn't just cut. Color, pattern, and weave all play a part. I'm really getting sick of defending my integrity over a simple point I was trying to make about a color pallet choice. You all asumed I was homophobic because i said most men wont like the color scheme. Don't you realize that you are making an asumption that gay men would be offended because you think they perfer those colors, or aren't real men. I never even implied that, nor do I think that. But you inferred that. What does that say about you? You should read a little more about the psychology of color and color theory before you assume I'm an insensitive bigot.

I agree. I'm sad too. The beautiful and well thought out graphic design is one of the things that made Apple stand way above all the rest. This is the first time ever Apple has disappointed me. There are many things that are very nice with iOS 7, but the graphic design is not one of them. I think it's a mess. Everything floats around, nothing separates the different elements which makes it uncomfortable to watch. And just the obvious thing that text should be readable on any background has been neglected. And how anyone can say that the icons are a step forward is beyond me. It's OK to simplify, but to me they look just amateurish.
We're just going to have to agree to disagree. Each post of yours gives me less respect for you & makes me more and more convinced that I'm correct about you. This recent "uh uh, no I'm not... you are!" stance especially. Adding you to my ignore list.. Neither of us is willing to listen to the other, I suspect.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that Topper24hours has taken this discussion in an emotionally driven irrational direction, and has yet to provide a factual or rational argument for whatever it is he believes.
Fact is, certain color palettes are considered masculine or feminine. Whether or not that is nature/ nurture is irrelevant to that fact. You can discuss the ins and outs of how those preferences/ tendencies came about, but the fact of the matter is that those preconceived notions of color exist, and treq gave more than enough objective sources and rational information to back his argument

It's too bad that you are so judgmental about others that you put them into your little boxes. How sad.

THANK YOU!!! I knew some out there would get my point. I've been getting really pissed off at being called a bigot or a homophobe by these crazy people, and your comment is a breath of fresh air.
Well, I'm sure some are. Many though have valid points about the UI's design. Even though most saw some of it coming, they haven't gotten to use it until now. There are many problems, but also many good things about this new os. Anyway, here's to hoping they will fix most of the problems and keep the things that work.
My 4S is fine. The battery drained a little quicker than normal for a couple hours after the install, but after charging to 100%, it's been fine ever since. I chalked it up as background updates/syncing.
Lag wise, I'd say iOS 7 works 'well' on the 4S. Not noticeably slow, but I haven't compared it to my wife's 5 yet.
I agree. The ease-of-use that was the hallmark of Apple products has suffered due to graphic design of the UI.
That it is visually harder to see/use makes it seems like the end-user experience was not a priority, eye candy aside.
That wallpaper depth trick is a rip off of a two year old jailbreak app.
Overall, was not impressed. Just as many cons as pros IMO.

It's not until you actually look at the mail app, music app, that it sinks in.
Much different than seeing Apple keynote on a big TV.

Did you know that Pacman was made to appeal to females?
It was supposed to be a colourful and non-violent game.

I'm in Europe and it went live at 7pm local (1pm Eastern US)......
Why would these morons release iOS7 at the SAME dam time worldwide and not progressively????
Slooooooooooooooow download and fearing activation dam it!
If customers know this always happens why would the morons download iOS7 at the SAME damned time worldwide and not progressively????
Why not wait a few days, will it kill you?
My 4s is fine. It runs really smoothly. However, the only problem I had was that at first my purchases were not recognized. It took a while before they finally showed up in the app store.

I just got finished installing it on my iPad and 10 minutes into it I'm not a fan. I feel like the simple design could have been made by a 7 year old.
So all the iOS developers here that have no choice but to install it in order to test their apps, or even the users that just want to keep up with the new security features and perhaps some people that just need something that was possible only with jailbreak tweaks (control center, orientation, search in mail etc) are just trolls, according to you?
I'm not a fanboy, I do like some Apple products but nobody is perfect.
iOS 7 is one step forward and 2 steps back.
Like the new features, hate the new design
Oh no....
This new design is so not what I espected. My phone somehow feels slower than before.
All these stupid animations, ex. when waking phone, just to see the time, what is up with that?. Just show the screen allready.
And the flat icons, that has no beauty to it. Yeaahh, lets make a retina screen with lots of pixels, and then make icons, that could have been made on a C64.
Sad day.... Oh, and I know well get use to it eventually, but at what cost ?

Is it just me or does the lock screen wallpaper seem out of focus? Does anyone know how to fix that?
